What to See in the EUR District in Rome: History, Architecture & Surprises
As I have mentioned on my blog before, one of my favourite things about Rome is that every neighbourhood in the city can feel totally different. In my neighbourhood series, I have previously talked about Pigneto, Ostiense, Testaccio, and Monti, and this time I want to focus on the EUR district. Located a little further away from the centre, it is a fascinating place with a dystopian feel to it. To be completely honest, the first time I visited, I kind of got the creeps, but over time I really grew to appreciate it. In this blog post, I will share a bit about the history of the district, the highlights you can’t miss when visiting EUR, and how to get to the area using public transport.
5 x The Best Gelato in Rome (2025)
Since last week I wrote about some of the best savoury street food in Rome, I thought this week it would be nice to switch things over to the sweet side and talk about one of the best treats Rome has to offer: gelato. As an international student, I’ve tried my fair share of gelato in Rome, and over time I’ve collected my top 5 gelaterias for the best gelato in Rome. These spots are the result of plenty of personal “research” (yes, eating a lot of gelato) combined with recommendations from my local Roman foodie friends. When you’re in Rome, you simply have to try them for yourself!
5 x The Best Savoury Street Food in Rome
You know I was excited to write this article. I love many things about Rome, but the food is definitely one of the biggest contributors to my happiness. Since I am a student, my budget isn’t very big, so I don’t eat out often. But with the street food in Rome, you don’t have to spend much for something to really rock your world.
There are a few street food items in Rome that are very famous, and you’ll see them a lot in the city centre. For this blog post, I thought it would be a good idea to share the most famous savoury street food items in Rome that I personally enjoy, along with the places where I think they sell the best ones. When you visit Rome, you simply have to try these foods!
